Cannot type into the mail compose window Win32 release build: 19990513morning build 1) Start Messenger 2) New message 3) Compose window appears 4) You cannot type in the body. This is regression. Note: Editor (Tasks | Editor) works fine. Don't know if this is cross platform since we haven't gotten the other release builds from today yet.

Happens on today's Linux build, too (tested on Red Hat 5.2).

I will take a look at this problem a soon I am done with by rebuild...

fyi, This problem also occurs in todays Mac build (1999051310). Tested with Commercial build.

JFS: in case this helps, i was trying to verify that we have a valid editor appcore when we go to send. i added the following "dump" lines to the send js code : function MessageSent() { dump("MessageSent Callback from JS!\n"); // Clear Them document.getElementById('msgTo').value = ""; document.getElementById('msgCc').value = ""; document.getElementById('msgBcc').value = ""; document.getElementById('msgNewsgroup').value = ""; document.getElementById('msgSubject').value = ""; if (editorAppCore) { dump("here1\n"); editorAppCore.selectAll(); dump("here2\n"); editorAppCore.insertText(""); dump("here3\n"); } window.close(); // <-- doesn't work yet! } i see here1 so we do have an editor appcore but calling editorAppCore.selectAll(); seems to fail as I never see here2 or here3. gotta love debugging js. adding sfraser to the cc list in case he knows of anything that may have changed in editor yesterday that may be getting us in trouble. right now the tree is being kept close because of this bug.

Yeah Simon! he just checked in a fix for us on this bug. unfortunatley they already opened the tree so QA won't get it in the builds today. i verified that it works again on windows and it works for simon on the mac. marking as fixed. although now we crash when you try to close the compose window because someone's leaking a press shell. simon's looking into that right now.

Thanks Simon and Scott for your help.

Simon, pls let us know if you fix that crash when closing the compose window. Thanks.

This has been verified on last Friday's builds.
